Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Changes With School Upon leaving Elementary School most everything in a students life is going to change while they transition to Middle School. Students will be starting over again...beginning at the bottom grade level. They'll have more teachers and more classes. Extra-curricular events will take more of their time. They'll need to be better organized and learn techniques for staying on top of all that schoolwork. The social dynamics with other classmates will become more sophisticated. Middle School is a period of tremendous growth and enormous change for any student. Helping them understand how to deal with the changes can only lighten the process.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Changes With Family As youngsters mature, one thing is for sure, the relationship with the family is going to change. The Middle School years are a time when young people want to learn and decide more things for themselves. Even so, it's not a good idea to disregard the assistance of others, like adults. Of course with more independence comes more responsibility. They will be expected to contribute more at home, at school and in other parts of their lives. It won't necessarily be easy but knowing the changes coming can help them meet the challenges ahead.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Social Changes As part of the maturation process, young people will likely request more privacy in their personal life, which is perfectly acceptable. However, they shouldn't close the door on family or important others. What's the purpose of a secret life anyway? In social settings they will begin to take an interest in others who didn't seem so interesting previously. In general girls will be more interested in boys and boys will be more interested in girls. This is also a time of tremendous peer pressure so they need to be very choosy about who they select for friends and what groups they may consider to join.

Interviews with Kohala Elementary Principal Danny Garcia, Chef Greg, Cafeteria Manager Aunty Priscilla, and State School Food Services Supervisor Dexter Kishida.
We spend most of our time in the dirt and on the farm, and that won't change. But we wondered if our friends in the wild-caught seafood industry might deal with some of the same problems and challenges our farmer friends on land do. The answer? Oh yeah ? and maybe then some. If you've ever been to Clearwater, FL, you've probably heard of Frenchy's ? a half-dozen unique restaurants, all with a laid-back Florida feel and nothing but fresh seafood they catch themselves. The grouper sandwich sets the world standard. And stone crab season sets off an annual rush. Frenchy's success over the last few years has led them to go into the supply business as well ? now they maintain their own fleet of boats to stock their own restaurants as well as the Frenchy's Seafood Company. It's a tasty story to be sure.
We import a lot of the food we eat. Fortunately for farmers, we export a lot, too. We think of endless lines of trucks streaming in across our southern border bringing in fruits and veggies from Central and South America, and that certainly happens.But for longer trips, larger loads, nothing beats shipping by sea. It's more economical and more ecologically friendly. It provides year-round supply of things we've now come to always expect at the supermarket ? sweet onions, watermelon, citrus. And critically, it gives U.S. farmers expanded markets for their crops. It's also going on 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Giant vessels packed with countless containers and the endless beep and whir of cranes, train cars rumbling, trucks coming and going. You'll be amazed at the impact a port has on agriculture ? and vice versa. And we'll show how all that happens at Port of Savannah, one of the nation's oldest and its third-busiest. That's a lot of cargo ? and it never stops
